Samsung Galaxy Watch Active: Our recommendation
Second model of the Galaxy Watch range, this new declination active is intended primarily for athletes. If it allows for the calculation of the number of steps taken or calories burned, it can automatically recognize up to 6 sports activities among the forty or so available. Swimming is also at the heart of this list, since this watch is IP68 certified to allow sealing up to 50 meters deep.
Its perfectly circular case gives way to a beautiful 1.1 inch OLED screen and its dial weighs only 25 grams, which makes it a real featherweight that will quickly be forgotten on the wrist. However, its small size does not mean that Samsung’s watch is poor in functionality, quite the contrary. It integrates conventional sensors such as a gyroscope, an accelerometer or a barometer, but also a heart rate monitoring to measure the heart rate (or detect the rise of stress) and even an NFC chip to pay with Samsung Pay on terminals accepting the contactless.
For the rest of the features, this Samsung Galaxy Watch Active has an Exynos 9110 processor and Bluetooth 4.2 compatibility. Its battery of 230 mAh, wireless rechargeable (with a Galaxy S10, for example), gives him a battery life of about 2 days. In addition, this smart health connected watch is equipped with a storage space of 4 GB. A more than practical feature when you want to listen to his favorite songs without having to take his phone during a sports session. Today it is the most versatile watch on the market, yet retains a certain elegance. This is our recommendation.

More than 40 sports activities available
Water resistance up to 50 meters

Samsung Galaxy Watch: the most complete
With this precise model, Samsung has decided to abandon the mention Gear for that of Galaxy, as on its most high-end smartphones. This is how the Galaxy Watch takes precedence over the Gear S3, present in the past in this ranking.

It will all the more because it is waterproof and holds a small week using a single load – which is much better than the new Active model – allowing you to go to the mountains without worrying about yourself. lack of grip.
The AMOLED screen is really nice to look at and manipulate, although we still prefer to make use of the rotating ring really more convenient, especially in public transport, to switch from one menu to another.

It allows to follow your daily physical activities and in particular to check your notifications.

What are the marks of trust?
Today the smart health connected watch market is mainly shared by three players: Apple with the Apple Watch, Samsung with the Galaxy Watch and Huawei with the Huawei Watch. We can also mention Withings, which has the merit of offering watches with a design closer to mechanical watches. These four brands are a priori trust, but that does not mean that all other actors are to put aside.

Do I have to buy extra bracelets?
The bracelet of the watch is also important, it is necessary to think about the material as well as its size. Some models use standard sizes while others have more exotic sizes. All watches come with a default bracelet.
It can be interesting to invest in a bracelet designed in a material corresponding to your use. We preferred rubber for sports, leather (real or not) for those who favor elegance. As on a classic watch, the leather will wear out over time.
